We love wayward children in literature. Not so much in life. When Sally Rippin discovered her child was struggling to read, the best-selling children' s author assumed it would sort itself out over time. She couldn' t have been more wrong. Her son' s dyslexia and ADHD went unsupported for years, leaving him further and further behind his peers, and labelled as ' difficult' by an education system that couldn' t easily cater to neurodivergent kids. By the time Sally learned how to advocate for her child, it was - almost - too late. This extraordinary book for parents is about how we learn to read and what can happen if we don' t, through the eyes of a parent who started out by doing everything the wrong way. Through meticulous research, interviews with educational experts and conversations with neurodivergent adults, Rippin shares her brilliant and eye-opening insights into how we can help all kids find the joy in reading, and advocate for them within our schooling system. After all, they say school isn' t for everyone, but if everyone must go to school - then why not?
Sally Rippin is a best-selling writer for children, with over ten million books sold in fourteen languages. Her most popular titles include the Billie B Brown and Hey Jack! series, and more recently, the School of Monsters series for beginner readers. Sally travels across the world speaking with parents, teachers and librarians about how to engage struggling readers, having brought up one herself.
